After being forced into marriage, the metaphysical master became the darling of the richest family.

Chapter 244

Jin Yize noticed the little girl's nervous movements and turned to look at Chi Cang, "Fifth brother-in-law, are there any marks on your palms?"

The man's question helped An Jiuxi quickly compose herself.

Her gaze fell upon the man's slowly outstretched hand.

There wasn't a single mark on my palm!

This result left An Jiuxi with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

That last touch... was it just because I touched the box?

“There aren’t any left. Fifth brother-in-law, you should keep the amulet with you.” An Jiuxi tugged at the corners of her lips and gave a kind smile.

He picked up the box again and examined it closely.

But the aura from before was no longer present.

It seems that everything was just her illusion!

"That's fine, after all, I'm often away doing business." In front of the others, Chi Cang placed the amulet directly on his chest, his expression still calm and composed.

There were no signs of discomfort.

He is no different from a normal person!

"Xi Xi, how come I didn't?" Jin Shumei reached out to An Jiu Xi, and seeing her take out the talisman, she deliberately asked, "I shouldn't have been shocked, right?"

"Fifth Sister, the Jin family is being targeted now. It's normal for you to get electrocuted."

Jin Yize spoke up to help An Jiuxi out of the predicament.

Knowing her temper well, Fifth Sister was going to make a fuss about it for the little girl!

Jin Shumei raised an eyebrow, casually picked up the talisman, and put it in her bag after noticing anything unusual. "Little brother, you really are protective of people. I didn't say anything."

Although the words were meant as a compliment, the tone was somewhat sarcastic.

Jin Yize didn't want to argue with her any longer, so he changed the subject, "The weather is nice today, and there's a barbecue grill in the yard. Let's go there instead."

Old Master Jin glanced at the fifth son, then got up and walked outside first.

An Jiuxi wanted to follow, but her wrist was grabbed.

Meeting Jin Yize's gaze, she silently stopped and pretended to pack her things.

This scene naturally fell into the eyes of Jin Shumei and Chi Cang. The two had different thoughts. Jin Shumei scoffed and pulled her husband away quickly.

The two left the courtyard and did not follow behind Old Master Jin, but went to the side.

"lady."

Chi Cangrou looked at her gently and said, "Don't be angry. They're just two children. If you don't like them, we won't come over as often in the future."

Although that's what she said, Jin Shumei felt a tightness in her chest.

"Jin Yize is one thing, but that An Jiuxi, although she's publicly said to be Jin Yize's fiancée, the two of them haven't even held a banquet yet. What gives her the right to be so arrogant in front of me!"

As Jin Shumei spoke through gritted teeth, she tenderly lifted the man's finger to examine it, "Luckily, there are no marks left. You're so beautiful, you can't be disfigured."

Upon hearing this, a dark light flashed in Chi Cang's eyes, and his expression of disgust vanished the moment the woman raised her eyes.

"Don't worry, I know you like my face, I won't let myself get hurt."

Chi Cang took the opportunity to grab her hand and press it against his face.

His affectionate gaze made Jin Shumei's expression become somewhat abnormally infatuated.

"Yes, what I love most about you is your face. It's a perfect work of art. If it were made into..."

Jin Shumei paused, as if realizing she had said something wrong.

The infatuation in his eyes vanished instantly, and he withdrew his hand.

"Alright, let's go to Dad's. We'll leave in a bit, but before we go... I need to confirm something else."

Hearing her say that, Chi Cang glanced at the two people slowly walking towards the courtyard.

Seeing that Jin Shumei was also staring at Jin Yize and An Jiuxi, he smiled slightly and said, "I will do as Madam says."

The two turned their gaze away and moved closer to Old Master Jin.

An Jiuxi glanced at the two figures from behind and lowered her voice, "Perhaps I'm mistaken. The old house has a protective formation. If something really happened to them, they would be suffering by now."

The two men had smiles on their faces as they talked to Old Master Jin and the others.

He doesn't seem to be in pain.

What's on that box?
